For backups, IMNSHO, you can never have too many backups scattered over multiple devices and sites. My main backup is external hard drives with the newest two being stored at work (grandfather, father son rotation). I also use server based storage and cloud services. Over the last couple of years, I've added more copies of the backups -- the process is pretty much automated so set and forget.
As the old IT saying goes: I know I'm paranoid, I just don't know if I am paranoid enough.

Certainly, I have removed DRM from all the books I currently own. As far as I know, Sony's LRX was never cracked, though there were rumors that someone might have figured it out, but never released it to the public. I had a bit under 300 eBooks that I bought from the Sony store before the Kindle store opened up and was cracked, but I think that all but a couple were converted to epub when the Sony went epub.
